• is space implemented a risk of running out of space on the data store

  Hello

  We have a Win SBS VM in PROD ESXi 4.1.

  First, we set the size of the disk to 520 GB.

  In summary, I see the following:

  

  Please help me understand the above figures and advise.

  Thank you.

  Yes exactly. "Configured" means space that is the maximum size that this virtual machine is set to achieve. But in your case, it has not used all the space put into service. But yes, it can reach up to 127 GB.

• Not enough space on the data store

  I created a VM w2k8 server. I have attached a second virtual drive to it in the vsphere client determined I gave him too much space. I went back in the vshere client and click on delete. Now, when I go to add a second drive with the right amount of space I want t use I get error not enough space on the data store. I noticed that the old file vdmk still exist but do not know how to proceed. It is a 5 ESX environment and the data store is on the SAN. Space on the windows server is listed as unallocated.

  Hello and welcome to the community of VMware. Well I would like to browse the data store and make sure that there are no vmdk files sitting here that, if the other wise not to be there. Have a go at this and feedback your conclusions.

  Best wishes.

• check the free space on the data store before making svmotion

  I'm trying to understand how to check free space on the data store until the proceeds of the svmotion.

  Example:

  -must first check that that sizeof (VMs to be moved) < sizeof (destination) - 50 GB before in terms of the

  -should leave a 50 GB buffer so that the script ends when all the VMS are moved from source data store or there are only 50 GB left on the source data store

  -must move VM to store data source to the destination data store 2 at a time, until the completion

  -must create a local log file, and then send this log file using the relay smtp server.

  I just started using powershell and have played with different things for about a week. I'm trying to understand this problem, anyone has advice or suggestions for me?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

• Low free space on the data store.

  Hi ladies and gentlemen

  I have 3 connected to my server from Vsphere data warehouses, data warehouses are a Terrabyte each but only have about 65 concerts on the free space on each of them.

  How this small space affect my ability to take pictures? Take a snapshot potentially cause data warehouses to run out of space?

  Thank you very much for all the tips...

  Concerning

  Clint.

  Dear Sir.

  Snapshot response potentially cause data store run area is YES.

  The explanation is dependent on the setting of the snapshot, configured manually, automatically configured (by any agent backup) or?

  Sorry, I'm not explain in detail here.

• V2V conversion with no space on the data store.

  Hi all -

  I need to resize/shrink a disc of comments (disc Win2008r2 800 GB to 300 GB) and I read that there is some reasonable success using a conversion, v2v (with vCenter Standalone Converter), but my concern is that I have only 50 GB free on the host data store.

  I would be able to download and drop the virtual machine folder and files on my local machine and convert from my local to the esxi host?  If not, what other options are there?

  Thanks in advance

  -michael ~.

  Yes, you can use the VMware Converter to convert the machine virtual VMware Workstation/Player format and save the files on your PC.

  Once this is done, then run the converter again choose VMware Workstation/Player as source and your virtual infrastructure as your destination.

  However, if the new virtual machine is over 50 GB in size, you can have a space problem.  You can, on the last page of the VMware converter during the movement of the virtual dos machine to your vSphere host, make sure that the disc is set to THIN provision...

  Good luck!

• Not enough space on the data store. Could not power on VM:No space available on the device

  Hello

  Here's my problem. I have several virtual machines. But one of them can be powered on because of the problem of space. I can not add spaces because there is nothing to add. The data store is only 760 MB left. There is summary information about the virtual machine below. I need power somehow on this machine, but how can I do. can I add another data store space. Y at - it files I can delete from the data store. Snapshot file is considerably large, I can reduce its size without changing anything.

  Thank you.

  

  There are several ways to approach this problem

  1. you can storage vmotion, some VMs who are currently used and this will free space.

  2. check the clichés that you don't use, and delete those.

  3. reduce the memory of some other virtual machines which are turned on so that the swap space can be saved.

• How can I get an alarm for VM in bad condition when you run lack of space on the data store

  Hello

  After ignoring the alarm messages on disk space used almost, a VM doesn't work with this error message:

  "Message from VMHost1.test.net: there is no more space for virtual disk.

  vmfs/volumes/4fb7ee7c-9c2aceee-a0df-00215acb6f4a/VMHost1/VMHost1_1_1.VMDK. You may be able to

  continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant volume, and then click Retry. Click Cancel to end this

  session. "

  At this point, I would like to have another alarm to ignore ;-)

  I'm trying to find a VMware alarm that can warn me in this case. (As the alarm 'use of data to drive store"set up to warn me when 90% is used)

  Basically, when the data store is full, and a virtual machine on it ask the e/s, due to the fact that it is thin provisioned, it is currently interrupted by ESXi. All virtual machines that do not require what I/O may still work. When this happens, you get an error like this:

  

  What the virtual machine that will come to you, is basically a VM Message. Using vCenter, you can create an alarm that goes off when the virtual machine (an individual) information message. The message that I used was something like this:

  

  When I then make a virtual machine on a data store set up thin, my alarm clock personalized using thin disks implemented short of space, was triggered.

  

  NB. I saw icon of the virtual machine in a State of alarm after that I clicked retry on the popup. If you don't do this, the virtual machine icon will be the State in question, but will always be triggered the custom alarm.

  Hope this helps,

  Tom

• May not use all the available space in the data store

  Hello

  We have a HP DL580 G7 Server P410i raid controller with 8 x 1 TB HDD.

  I create a raid 1 with 2 hard drives (1 TB) and raid 5 with 6 hard drives (5 TB) and install ESXi 5.1 in the first data store (1 to).

  After installation when I tried to create the 5 TB data store, (ESXi detects and displays the space available 5 TB) it does use that almost 2.5 TB! and may not use all the space

  I also installed the ESXi 5.5 but still no luck.

• Configuration of San - data store have more than 1 LUN

  Hello

  We look at our San configuration for improvements. Our San has about 10 TB total.

  We currently have 6 LUN 1.5 TB all which are enclosed in 1 store 10 TB data

  It was suggested that we should NOT combine multiple LUNS in a data store for the reason if 1 LUN goes wrong then the entire data store is non-refundable.

  Although our SAN LUNS are created on top of raid 6 and are therefore a bit 'protected' by councils LUN 1 data store is interesting

  Does anyone have ideas to share?

  Thank you

  Tom D

  I would say that having a single data store, regardless of the underlying storage architecture is probably not a good idea.  Although this configuration is authorized you can paint yourself in a corner fairly quickly.

  1. one wonders about the maximum number of VMDK you should have by the data store.  http://communities.VMware.com/message/944120  Basically the more s VMDK on the SCSI data store more blocking of activity taking place on the disk, causing performance problems.  Each VMware engineer, I've talked about seems to stay around the VMDK 20 a range of data store, but that could change with vSphere.

  2 - How this data store backup and how long does it take?  What happens during a restore scenario?  10 TB is plenty of space and could take some time for the backup.  If you push it on tape and you must always restore the together 10 to it could take weeks or months.  This space by breaking into warehouses of smaller data gives you smaller segments of data that you can restore in case of disaster.

  3 - the number of data warehouses you have is very important if you are always looking to implement the Site Recovery Manager.  SRM relies on your storage device to replicate data between the sites.  There could be serious consequences on the rate of change of the data for a single LUN 10TB.  If you are moving in several data stores that it will make it easier to handle your recovery plan.

  Apart from the considerations above of VMware. I guess 7 performance LUNS in RAID-6 is not so great.  You have a lot of protection, but you pay for it with capacity and performance.  If you went to 10 stores of data and the LUN 10 you can change RAID settings at each data store to optimize performance, protection, and capacity.  For example 4 LUN RAID-10 high performance DB apps and 6 LUNS to RAID-5 for the ability.  With smaller LUN and data warehouses a disk or LUN failure will affect only a smaller set of services rather than your entire data center.

  In short, unless there is a really compelling reason to go with a single store of 10 TB database, I recommend you to change your architecture.

• Free space in the data store is lower we shouldn't

  Hello

  I'm under VMware ESXi on HP Proliant DL380 G5 server - the data store has a global capacity of 678 GB, with now 34 GB free. I have 5 VMs running:

  reader1/lecteur2

  (1) Win2k3: 50 / 100

  (3) Win2k3: 50 / 50

  (1) Windows XP: 10

  Oh - and the two models, one for the server (50) and a XP (10)

  Yesterday, I created a couple of clones of the XP, 1 with Vmkfstools - i and the other with vConverter - especially for the practice, but they are only 10 GB. Before my creations, free space read about 115 GB - then she got at the moment, I noticed 34GB. I deleted the two new virtual machines thinking I came home back from space, but no dice. Math is not my best subject, but this does not seem to add up. Do something wrong, I missed something?

  Is it possible to reclaim that space? Before I thought to check with you guys, it dawned on me that I could stop all VMs and restart the host, but if there is another way, I want to know it.

  Linda

  Browse the data store - go to the "Home" view - inventory - data warehouses, click a data store, and then select Browse.

  Look in the subdirectory for each virtual computer and determine that seem abnormal large size files and total size of all files that exceed the size of the virtual disks assigned to the virtual machine.  If you specify then what are the names of the files a plan for how to get rid of them.

• Not enough space on the data store.  Newb help please.

  I have a running ESXi 4.1.0 2 Windows VMs server.  Everything worked very well, but I had to turn off all of the server and physically move.  When I powered it back, only on virtual machines with the power on at the same time.  The other dies with the error above.  I have very little experience with VMware and I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

  Welcome to the community - the reason why you can't turn on your VM is because a vmkernel swap file is created when you turn on the virtual machine, and if there is not enough space, then, you will receive this error - you'll need clean the directories where are installed the virtual machines - you'll need to remove all of the log files If there are snapshots commit those and then you should be able to powere on virtual machines

  foreach($vm in Get-VM){
      $ds = Get-Datastore -VM $vm    $report += $ds | Select @{N="Name";E={$vm}},

• system down out of space

  Sorry, it took some time, but I did a quick test on my test environment.

  I've attached a file updated the vmsd which represents now two snapshots on the virtual machine.

  You must download the file to the data store. If the two snapshots (consolidate Helper - 0-2) do not appear in the Snapshot Manager right away, you may need to remove the virtual machine from the inventory (right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select "Remove from inventory") and add it back back (right click on the file vmx in the data store, and then select "Add to the inventory").

  Once you see the two snapshots, first a ' Consolidate Helper-0 ' select and click 'delete '. This will consolidate the snapshot 58GB (... 000002.VMDK) in the basic disk. It will take time. Before committing the second snapshot, you should start the virtual machine to see if the snapshot is still ok after the virtual machine has been closed due to disk space is low. Once the VM starts and everything looks ok, you can remove the ' Consolidate Helper-2 ' second snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  For the above, I guess that your basic virtual disk is supplied thickness. If this isn't the case, please report. Do not try to commit the snapshot in this case!

  Before you start committing snapshots, make sure you that Veeam don't hit in the consolidation of the snapshot.

• How to make instant consolidation if the data store is out of disk space...

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine that has left many of the snapshot files and now can consolidate using the tool (he always said of disk space to make the consolidation)

  The data store have now 60 GB of free space when the space data store maximum disk is 850 GB and the busy VVMM over almost 700 GB of disk space...

  Can I attach a 3 TB USB drive to the ESXi server and move all the files through or another way to do...

  HELP ~ ~

  With the disk space required on drive E, it may be useful to consider an alternative:

  • create a (much smaller) another virtual disk
  • Stop all of the services entering drive E
  • Copy the data from drive E more to the new virtual disk (for example using robocopy)
  • switch drive letters
  • Once everything is working as expected, get rid of the old virtual disk

  This will not only reduce the disk space used on the data store, but also to ensure that the virtual disk cannot grow more.
